Globalisation
-
EQ 2: What are the impacts of globalisation for countries, different groups of people & cultures, & the physical environment
-
Key idea 2: the scale & pace of economic migration has increased as the world has become more interconnected, creating consequences for people & the physical environment
Rural-urban migration and / or natural increase is responsible for the growth of mega-cities; rapid urban growth creates social & environmental challenges
-
-
International migration has increased in global hub cities & regions, deepening interdependence between regions
-
Migration has economic, social, environmental & political costs & benefits for the source & host countries
Key idea 3: the emergence of a global culture, based on western ideas, consumption, & attitudes towards the physical environment, is one outcome of globalisation
Cultural diffusion occurs as a result of globalisation; TNCs, global media corporations, tourism, & migration create & spread an increasingly 'westernised' global culture which impacts on both the people & the environment.
-
-
The spread of a global culture has also lead to new awareness of opportunities for disadvantaged groups, particularly in emerging & developing countries
-
In some locations, cultural erosion has resulted in changes to the built & natural environment
-
-
Concern about cultural impacts, economic & environmental exploitation has led to opposition to globalisation from some groups
-
-
EQ 3: what are the consequences of globalisation for global development & the physical environment & how should different players respond to its challenges?
Key idea 1: globalisation has led to dramatic increases in development for some countries, but also widening development gap extremities & disparities in environmental quality
Economic measures of development contrast with those focused on social development & environmental quality
-
-
-
-
-
Trends in widening income inequality, globally & nationally, suggest globalisation has created winners & losers for people & physical environments between & within developed, emerging & developing economies
-
Contrasting trends in economic development & environmental management between global regions since 1970 indicate differential progress that can be related to the outcomes from globalisation
Key idea 2: social, political & environmental tensions have resulted from the rapidity of global change caused by globalisation
Open boarders, de-regulation & encouragement of foreign direct investment (FDI) has created culturally mixed societies & thriving migrant diasporas in some locations, but tensions have resulted elsewhere
-
-
Attempts have been made in some locations to control the spread of globalisation by censorship, limiting immigration & trade protectionism
-
-
-
-
Some groups seek to retain their cultural identity within countries & seek to retain control of culture & physical resources, whereas others embrace its economic advantages
-
Key idea 3: ethical & environmental concerns about unsustainability have led to increase localism & awareness of the impacts of a consumer society
Local groups & NGOs promote local sourcing as one response to globalisation by increasing sustainability
-
This has economic, social & environmental costs & benefits
-
Fair trade & ethical consumption schemes may reduce the environmental degradation, the inequalities of global trade & improve working conditions for some people
Recycling has a role in managing resource consumption & ecological footprints, but its use varies by product & place
